That peppy, female vocal “la-la-la” Lawrence Welk song is “Calcutta,” evocative of the Indian megacity not at all.
Yes, some of us keep useless knowledge like this on hand, and waste our precious free time acquiring more.
Without looking it up, can anyone sing the song that was playing when Harry Thaw shot Sandford White?
What German composer did Huntley Brinkley use for their theme song?
Since cigarette commercials are long gone, remember what western movie theme was used for Marlboro?
Easy one!
The Magnificent Seven
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony
In Ragtime?
I don’t know the title, but the lyrics went something like…
“I love those pretty little girls of Par-eee!” (Cut me some slack; I saw the movie once, around thirty years ago!)
As an ad in MAD Magazine once said, “YES! I want to learn all this stuff now while I’m alive so I’ll be really smart when I’m dead!” 
The classics never go out of style, do they? 
“Turn off-a de bubble machine!”
Huh! Never knew it had lyrics!
OK terentii, like all trivia, you either know this one right away, or could never guess it in a million years:
The song that originated in a soft-core porno, and broke into the mainstream on Sesame Street
Rubber Duckie? 
Or maybe the one where Katy Perry was jiggling her boobs? :o
Why, that would be “Mahna Mahna.”
But Red Skelton had it before The Muppets.
This one I know, but never heard about the soft-core porn before! :eek:
Used it in a high-school homecoming sketch back in '72! Great pantomime music!
I don’t think this has been answered yet (scanned quickly), but I believe The Toy Parade is Leave It To Beaver.
mmm
If it’s what I think it is, it’s…
All of my questions were answered in post no. 18. You may need to scroll down a bit on one or two of them.
That is correct.
Wrong. It’s actually “Thanks for the Memory” (singular).
Not the one I had in mind (see post no. 18), but yeah… I’m actually surprised that it has a name, other than “Exercise for Violin.”
This was played at the very beginning of the show; mine (the J&M Stomp) was used as the outro at the end (over the closing credits).
Name the two commercials that also used this theme.
Lark cigarettes, and Geno’s Pizza Rolls.
